Oar path re^^vealed nothing of striking interest, al^^though, with the persistency of Swiss^paths generally, almost at each step^some new and beautiful view presented^itself. From Meiringen to Grindelwald,^we passed many objects both amusing^and interesting. Starting early one^morning, we rapidly ascended the steep^mountain slopes of the Faulhorn chain,^each step unfolding and enlarging oar^view of the beautiful valley that we^were leaving.

Believing it to be a moral^dnty to correct euch false reports, we beg^the favor of doing so through the columns of^your paper. From all the evidence we can^gather at this place, where it happened, and^what we saw ourselves immediately after the^lamentable affair, the following is correct as^near as memory serves us. On the evening of^the 24th of December, about 11 o'clock, John^Smoot left Mathews' Saloon and went into^the store of Olson A Newsham, where he pur^^chased some groceries. After paying for^them he was asked to take something to drink,^as it was Christmas eve, but declined, saying^^ he was not partial to whiskey, but would^leave his groceries for a few minutes until he^got ready to...
